I table for the information of the Senate a revised ministry list. I seek leave to have the document incorporated into Hansard and to make a short statement.
Leave granted.
The document read as follows—
MORRISON MINISTRY
Each box represents a portfolio. Cabinet Ministers are shown in bold type. As a general rule, there is one department in each portfolio. However, there is a Department of Human Services in the Social Services portfolio and a Department of Veterans' Affairs in the Defence portfolio. The title of a department does not necessarily reflect the title of a minister in all cases. Assistant Ministers in italics are designated as Parliamentary Secretaries under the Ministers of State Act 1952.
I advise the Senate that the updated ministry list reflects the appointment of Senator Reynolds as the Minister for Defence Industry and the Minister for Emergency Management and North Queensland Recovery.
